Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center

 

December, 2008.

We are staying in Two Rivers Campground near Opry Land in northeast Nashville over the Memorial Day weekend. Two Rivers is the private campground we recommend for anyone visiting Nashville. We like it because it is $21 cheaper than the next best campground. When staying at Two Rivers Campground we pay $31 for water & 30-amps. Full-hookup and 50-amps are a bit more. But, and it is a big BUT the Yogi Bear Campground next door starts at $51 and goes up while the KOA a block away starts somewhere above that and the sky is the limit. In Nashville you are paying for LOCATION and Two Rivers Campground has LOCATION. Besides that they sponsor good entertainment in the park several times a week. When I say "GOOD" entertainment I mean FREE afternoon shows from the likes of Hot Damn out of South Florida, Paul Hill who operates out of Nashville and the incomprehendable Mel McDaniel who still resides in Nashville.

We normally look for 1/2 price PPA Campgrounds COE Campgrounds or National Park Campgrounds. But in Nashville, during the winter the COE Campgrounds are closed.

 

November, 28th thru December 6th.

 

We stayed at Two Rivers Campground/RV-Park on Music Valley Road near the Grand Old Opry and Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. We like staying with Two Rivers because of their location and price. KOA and Yogi Bear flank Two Rivers but they are MUCH more expensive.

One morning we wandered over to the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center that was decorated beautifully for the Christmas season. We always enjoy strolling through the atrium complex to view the beautiful foliage.

While there we got someone to take our picture inside the atrium at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.

Outside trees were covered with white lights on the inside the atrium (is that what they call that area under glass?) they had 56,000 poinsettias in addition to other Christmas plants and multiple large decorated Christmas trees. And all this was located in the huge glass atrium in the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.

This is just some of the 56,000 poinsettia used to decorate the inside of the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center atrium area. Everyone wanted their picture taken here!

 

 

Ain't life grand?

That is all there is.

Until next time remember how good life is.
